From my favorite movies..

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Yes, many more have graduated. In the far off future of 1991, the police will be replaced by civilian contractors. Each must first pass the high standards of marksmanship set by The Empire's Stormtroopers. Not only must they miss their quarry, they must miss all clothes, vehicles, and nearby props entirely. Until now, only stormtroopers had been so precise.In Future Force, David Caradine's character of John Tucker is shot at repeatedly with all kinds of different weapons. However not one bullet hole is shown anywhere near him. He is shot at with machine guns, shotguns, and pistols. His truck is never damaged by bullet holes throughout the entire movie. Tucker himself is shot twice by what appears to be a very experienced murderer, Becker. Tucker gets back up with only a trickle of blood dripping from the edge of his mouth without any sign of a bruise, cut, nor BULLET HOLE.Yes, these civilian contractors must have assuredly graduated SUMMA CUM LAUDE from The Empire's School for Stormtroopers.One amazing scene shows a couple of those contractors walking towards Tuckers vehicle from about 50 feet behind. Tucker tells the woman reporter to put her head down. Tucker then teleports himself out of the truck to a place unseen by the two contractors.

The box set came with three DVD cases each with its own catalog number (54309, 54319, 54799), no UPC #, and designated "NOT FOR INDIVIDUAL RESALE". Each case came with two DVDs:54309:Firehead...............UPC #0 96009 51529 4Space Mutiny.........UPC #0 96009 51599 754319:Future Force..........UPC #0 96009 51579 9Future Zone...........UPC #0 96009 51589 954799:Prey of the Jaguar...UPC #0 96009 49619 7Conspiracy of Fear...UPC #0 96009 51509 6I guess the box was originally designed to house four DVD cases, because Echo Bridge graciously---free and without fanfare on the packaging---added two rectangular pieces of cardboard to fill in the extra space.* Civilian Operated Police Systems (according to the sign on the entrance to the headquarters)**** Civilian Operated Police Incorporated (according to the narrator)****** Civilian Operated Police State (according to Echo Bridge Home Entertainment's DVD case's description)**** Establishing shot shows car in a seemingly deserted dirt road with railroad tracks. In closeups of Marion (Anna Rapagna) and Tucker, cross traffic is blurry but clearly visible not far behind them. Later, two C.O.P.S. are seen walking towards the car with a truck parked behind them. Only the front tire is visible. There is no traffic. The next camera angle through the Cherokee shows a different location with a different truck where the rear wheel is clearly visible. In the mirror they appear to be in the original deserted location.***** Front camera angles show Tucker and Marion clearly looking at the center console as they watch and react to their helper, Billy, talking on-screen. However shots from behind the couple show no signs of the TV anywhere.

A quick look at the pictures could already give you an idea about the quality, or lack thereof, of this movie. But make no mistake, this is one of the most entertaining flicks ever made for a lot of reasonsFuturistic cop, I mean C.O.P. John Tucker, the legendary David Carradine, sweeps the mean streets of a crime infested LA with no big troubles whatsoever. It's just daily routine to him, the best gunman in the city. But when Marion Sims, a brave reporter (Anna Rapagna before her breakthrough in Hollywood) publicly accuses Jason Adams (William Zipp), powerful businessman and head of C.O.P.S. (the bounty-based private law enforcement corp Tucker works for) of being a criminal, she's immediately marked as "traitor" and finds all the money hungry C.O.P.S. chasing her. Tucker finds her first, and it becomes the two of them versus ALL of them.that's for the summary, I don't want to spoil no more for you because you have to watch this movie. You. Have. To. Directed by David Prior, a man who's quite gotten a hand for action, this movie opens with David Carradine against two nasty criminals Mano a Mano. First thing you'll realize is the fact the future LA looks suspiciously similar to the 1990 LA. In fact, even 1985 circa LA. I believe the authors went for the cheap "Let's make it a not too distant future in which the men have become like cowboys, style and fashion are things of the past, and nostalgia really kicks in big time" which is the poorest excuse for trying to hide a dangerously low budget. Next thing you'll think is "Hold on, is Carradine that fat for real?". Yeah, he is. He sports a supreme beer belly with perfect aplomb here, not even joking about the fact he's out of shape. He's really convinced he's menacious looking. After a quick series of badly choreographed moves, delivered as slowly as possible by lumpy David, we're introduced to movie's biggest feature: the power glove. It's not the Nintendo one, but it's possibly even lamer. When Carradine wears it, it releases a stream of superimposed blue intersected lines Prior wants us to think it's electricity. Oh well. Then the two criminals want to run, but not before they run over our man with their crappy car. Bad idea. Tucker makes quick work of the guys, and shoots a beam which flips their car upside down. And that's just the first five minutes!Billy, played with - I must admit - some honest effort by DC Douglas, is the wheelchair-bound tech whiz. Billy spends his life surrounded by computers and keyboards, and gives Tucker all the info he needs to cash the bounty in before the other C.O.P.S. then we have Jason Adams, superbly played by William Zipp, enjoying his criminal life when Channel-3 reporter Marion Sims (Anna Rapagna, who's quite cute) tells everyone he's a bad bad man. Adams loses his temper and sends his best man Becker (hunky Robert Tessier) to put..a zip on her mouth, possibly forever. After this intense prelude all you get is car chase after car chase, Tucker gunning down every single C.O.P. with no effort whatsoever, Adams dead, Becker dead, Tucker's quasi girlfriend Roxanne dead, Billy deadfunniest moments: I'd like to say the whole movie's a big laugh , and indeed it is. But just to satisfy your curiosity: the sound effects are comically poor. When Tucker grabs the two guys' car at the beginning with the PG, they floor the accelerator and wheels spin like mad. The sound they produce is 100% the same from The Flintstones, when Fred uses his feet as brakes. Or when Becker suddenly pulls his gun to assassinate Father Grimes' bodyguard, its identical to the SCHLOCK sound you make when you open a jar of marmalade. Acting is miserable. Carradine's undoubtedly drunk most of the time, and he moves as slow as my grandpa after the last stroke. If I ever seen a shabby human being, that's Dave in this flick. Plot doesn't make any sense. Tucker rescues Marion and finds out all the C.O.P.S. are on fire trying to find and kill them. Then he goes to the only bar every C.O.P hangs in and obviously everyone wants to kill him. Why the hell does he go there then? Adams orders Becker to slap a bounty on Marion's head, and watches his henchman typing and tapping on his PC for two minutes. Then he tells him he wants to take care of it "personally". Then why does he let Becker write it down if he wants to do it alone? Becker watches Roxanne letting Tucker go, since she loves him (she must be blind), then he kills Roxanne after telling her she's a sentimental *beep*. It would have been logical to kill Tucker instead of waiting for Roxanne and kill her..who cares about her? But no, Becker is a precise guy and wants to discuss Roxanne's behavior first-and let's not forget the PG's remote, which has ONE button but can do a variety of things like send the glove wherever you want it to fly, punch, grab, hold, strangle, shoot and so on. Conversations that go like "Becker you're head of security , how could it happen?" "I checked the offices 24/24, trust me its a bluff"" Then what's on that tape?" "Well nothing" answers the confused Beckerparaplegic Billy being shot down and suddenly raising his legs like an acrobat before dying, the multitude of Z-costars, Tucker shooting through a cardboard TV, Carradine's too tight jeans and so on. In a word: awesome. Get a VCR and the VHS, you're going to laugh for a long, long time

David Carradine has done more than his fair share of stinkers throughout his career. This delightfully dreadful doozy rates highly as one of poor Dave's more entertainingly awful films. A seriously dumpy, weary, and out of shape Carradine stars as John Tucker, a rugged bounty hunter who pounds a gritty city beat in a bleak lawless near future that's right around the corner. Tucker has to protect perky TV news reporter Marion Sims (the cute Anna Rapagna) from the vile clutches of corrupt police chief Jason Adams (essayed with snarly hambone aplomb by William Zipp) and his brutish henchman Becker (leering veteran chromedome heavy Robert Tessier). Moreover, Tucker has to fend off his fellow bounty hunters after he's wrongfully accused of murder by Adams. Written and directed with staggering incompetence by David A. Prior, further undermined by dismal dialogue (sample line: "I want her dead in a box six feet underground"), poky pacing, clumsily staged action scenes, drab cinematography, a horrible head-bangin' rock soundtrack, several gnarly strip club sequences (WARNING: fleeting gratuitous nudity alert!), slack editing, and a woefully unconvincing depiction of the future (all the clothes, hairstyles, automobiles, and so on look like the present circa 1990), this hilariously horrendous honey makes for often unintentionally uproarious viewing. Gut-busting highlights include one of the single most lame car chases ever committed to celluloid, the ridiculously fake-looking exploding plastic helicopter, and the simply glorious moment when Tucker's nerdy crippled electronics whiz sidekick Billy (the insufferably geeky D.C. Douglas) gets blown away and falls out of his wheelchair dead. But the funniest moment period occurs when Tucker's funky metallic glove gets activated so it can fly throw the air, repeatedly punch Becker, and eventually strangle the mean no-good baddie (said glove also fires these cool blue lasers and can punch through cardboard doors). A deliciously cheesy hoot.

This is the kind of movie that is best watched with friends who are recovering from hangovers. That is how i was introduced to it, and it definitely helped my condition. This film is completely and totally hilarious. I love it. From the extremely cheesy dialogue to the sleazy porno looking police chief to the magical robot glove, this movie rules. In fact, I'm hungover right now. In fact, I'm going to watch it again right now. Yes.
